Lesson Plan Solving Systems by Graphing

Introduction to the Lesson: Systems of linear equations will have 1 solution (independent), no unique solution (dependent), and no solution (inconsistent). Students will learn to graph, analyze, and solve systems of equations by using slope- intercept, standard, and point- slope forms of equations. Students will learn how to find 1 solution, no unique solution, or no solution by graphing system of equations. Emphasis will be on graphing systems of equations, with students leveraging their graphing skills as well as using GeoGebra to capture exact solutions. Explanation of Math Involved: The primary math involved in solving systems by graphing is graphing. By graphing these linear equations, the solution needs to be common to both equations. By graphing these linear equations, students in addition will have to perform substitution to verify the solution is valid for both equations. Use 3- Steps as shown below1. Graph both equations using slope- intercept format. a. Plot y intercept (b). b. Count- out slope by rise and run, plot 2nd point. c. Connect 2 points with straight line. 2. Determine the solution, if it exists: a. One solution- point of intersection. b. Infinite solution- coincident, equivalent equations. c. No solution- parallel lines, slopes of both lines are equal. 3. Validate solution, by performing check. a. Substitute x and y coordinates found (if exists) back into original equations. Solve equations to ensure correctness, that equations balance properly. Instructional Methods: Visual based using Interactive Electronic text, PowerPoint, and GeoGebra with interactive kinesthetic exercises. So students will follow teacher with classroom examples- using handout of graph paper. After graphing examples in class, students will have classroom assignment using GeoGebra- exploring solutions of 2 linear equations manipulating slope (m) and y intercept (b) of each equation.

Norm Ebsary Multimedia #2 Lesson Plan: Solving Systems by Graphing Step by step procedure: A Daily Agenda is organized, to keep the students aware of the class lesson that day. The lesson is organized as shown below in the PowerPoint, the students see this as they enter the classroom and it is reviewed at the start of the class by the teacher.

Figure 1: Classroom Lesson Daily Agenda The step by step procedure will follow the Daily Agenda shown above: 1. Warmup- See Appendix A for 6 graphing problems. 2. Lesson Introduction- based on PowerPoint and electronic textbook, students review linear equations with slope- intercept, standard, and point- slope forms, then are introduced to lesson concepts with systems of equations and how to solve by graphing. a. Students do 3 classwork examples using graph paper b. Students work in teams of 2 to 3 for GeoGebra activity 3. Lesson Quiz assesses students comprehension of the lesson. 4. Homework start- students have the 15 minutes or more to start the homework and ask questions about the assignment.

Norm Ebsary Multimedia #2 Lesson Plan: Solving Systems by Graphing Key questions to be asked: 1. Lines with the same slope have how many solutions? 2. How can a system of equations have 1 Solution? 3. How can a system of equations have infinite Solutions? 4. If a system of equations has no solutions, what do these equations have in common? Description of class activities: 1. Warmup activity- 3 problems on graphing slope- intercept, standard, and point- slope form of linear equations. 2. Review graphing and introduce systems of equations. 3. Classroom examples- 3 different examples where students explore 1 solution, infinite solutions, and no solutions. 4. GeoGebra interactive exercise, exploring linear solutions by changing slope and y intercept values using sliders. 5. Lesson Quiz- checks comprehension and provides additional assessment. 6. Homework start, begin homework assignment and help answer final doubts and questions. Closure to the lesson: Students working on homework assignment, as a way of assessing their understanding of the class lesson. Students end the lesson by practicing their systems graphing through homework assignment. Assignments for students: A total of 10 problems, to be solved by graphing and classifying Independent, Dependent, or Inconsistent.

Norm Ebsary Multimedia #2 Lesson Plan: Solving Systems by Graphing Assessments: in 6 levels as follows1. Classwork activity- observations on how students complete exercise activities for length of time and correctness of content. 2. Homework- review homework for completeness and correctness of content. 3. Warmup- Warmup is based on previous lesson, so the ease in which students complete the Warmup correctly is observed and noted. 4. Lesson Quiz- at the end of lesson to check for understanding. 5. Quiz- section short assessment using system of equations by graphing, 10 problems total. 6. Test- chapter test provides measure of how students comprehend the graphing of system equations and how this interacts with earlier and later sections of the chapter. Plan for providing feedback: for classwork activity and Warmup, the feedback will be interactive as students progress through the assignment- I will be walking around the classroom interacting with students and providing direct feedback on my observations. For homework, I also provide direct feedback while grading the assignments for completeness and correctness as I take attendance and students are working on their Warmup assignments. For Quiz and Tests, students receive their corrected versions back in a timely manner and problems are reviewed in class.

Norm Ebsary Multimedia #2 Lesson Plan: Solving Systems by Graphing Connections section: There is opportunity to utilize systems of equations for real- life applications. Several examples are provided in the homework assignment, for example problem #30 below:

Y = .15x + 200 Y = .10x + 300

Radio Barn Weekly + Commission Woofer, Etc. Weekly + Commission

Figure 2: GeoGebra System of Equation for Homework Example So the solution by graphing the system is x = 2000, or 2000 units of sales- both salaries are equal. Here is the check:

Y = .15(2000) + 200 = 500 Y = .10(2000) + 300 = 500

Both salaries are equal, at $500 for sales of 2000 units. This shows a real- life connection, that students are always asking When am I going to use this?, well here it is!
